Ingredients
Chicken livers – 500 g
Milk – 200 ml
Eggs – 3 pcs.
Sunflower oil – 50 ml + 2 tablespoons for frying
Flour – 160 g
Carrots – 200 g
Onions – 150 g
Walnuts – 50 g
Mayonnaise – 300 ml
Salt – 1/2 teaspoon.
For frying the vegetables:
Sunflower oil – 2 tablespoon.
To decorate (if desired):
Mayonnaise (thick) – 100 ml (to taste)
Fresh parsley – 2-3 sprigs (to taste)
Directions
Sift the flour.
Toast the walnuts in an oven preheated to 100 degrees until browned (for about 15 minutes). Let the walnuts cool down and chop them to the desired degree.
If possible, remove the membranes from the livers. Grind the livers with a blender.
Put the liver mass into a deep bowl, add 50 ml of the vegetable oil and eggs.
Add 100 ml of milk and flour.
Mix everything. Use an immersion blender to make the mass more homogeneous.
Add the remaining milk and salt. Mix everything.
Finely chop the onions and grate the carrots on a medium or coarse grater.
Put the onion and carrots in a heated frying pan with vegetable oil. Stir-fry them for 10 minutes over medium heat.
Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter into the pan. Fry the pancakes for 2-4 minutes on each side until browned. I got 12 pancakes from the specified amount of products.
Combine mayonnaise with the chilled carrots and onions.
Add the chopped walnuts. Mix everything.
Coat the pancake with filling. Put another pancake on it. Make the entire cake in this way.
Coat the top pancake with mayonnaise or, if desired, decorate the cake with thick mayonnaise using a pastry bag with a shaped nozzle.
Finely chop the parsley.
Sprinkle the cake with the chopped parsley and put it in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
The liver cake with carrots and nuts is done. Slice the cake into portions and serve as a cold appetizer.
